I love how the monsters will credit this success to Lady Gaga, As if Dua Lipa didn’t collaborate with them a few years ago. 

And we all know Dua’s song is the real standout track. Anyways I don’t get their hype since I grew up with the OGs GG and 2NE1, but Lovesick Girls is an anthem

Sour Candy disappointed me so much after all the high expectations Kiss and Make Up gave me.

I’m pressed there was no video

The final US sales number is impressive!

Is The Album worth listening to? I liked the singles, especially Lovesick Girls.

I'm done with albums selling 17k and getting the number 1 spot over an album that sold close to 100k. Never the less congrats to the girls they deserve all the success and love they receive. They truly are 1 of the hardest working musical acts around. I recently watched thier Japan Tokyo Dome performances and was shocked that they performed their songs in Japanese and English for those fans. The effort and quality they put into their projects is truly admirable.

The fact Ava Max also got a #2 in the UK yet her numbers are horrible

100 %. I have it on constant repeat, and I seriously do not skip any of the songs. I love them all. It's such a good album. The last album I was into like this was Glory.

I’m surprised they didn’t include Spur Candy to help with numbers.  But I also feel like they are on the song more than Gaga

Why would you call your album the album? The charts are saying otherwise. 

From an outside perspective it was definitely ambitious to name the album that way lol 

But anyone who loves k-pop knows that it’s been an uphill battle with Blackpinks recording label. They have been out for a few years now, and they just kept releasing EP’s. The fans were demanding an actual album, which was long overdue. I’m not sure if that’s the reason why it was named “the album”, but I’m gonna go ahead and convince myself that that’s the truth 😂😂😂

Yes, the first 2 singles were the worst on the album for me.

A.C.E did a cover of "How You Like That", and I like it more than the original, tbh. It's so good. 

 The harmonies...

They lost all the fierceness of the song

It wasn't meant to be fierce, and that's what I love about it. I love covers that breathe new life into a song, and this one does exactly that.

Kpop? I honestly don’t know if they fit in Kpop as a genre. Koreans don’t support / don’t identify with BLACKPINK and BTS as they are catered to western audiences. 

Oh yes, totally, that's why they've been the most popular girl group in korea along with "Twice" and that Lisa from Blackpink won 2019 Instagram Awards in Korea and was awarded as “Most Beloved Person” in 2019. That's truly because "koreans don't support / don't identify with Blackpink". 

Also "kpop" is a term used to refer to several genres of music that comes from south korea. So yes Blackpink fits in kpop. 

[Isla]

I finally listened and it's not a bad album at all... Pretty Savage and Crazy Over You are bops. Thanks to those who recommended it to me!

First of all i live in Italy and here they are completely irrelevant 
Second i have witnessed the prime of Britney and the entire world was bow down to her so this local act can't even compete 

P.S i'm not a part of Parkwood Entertainment so i don't know why i'm supposed to give a **** about Beyoncé and her awards 

 But i'm happy for you if you have seen the bills of those awards 

 

???

In Italy the album is #17 rn, idk what you are talking about

They are actually pretty good. Idk why people hate on them. Their videos are so good. You dont need to know Korean to get what they are saying. Their streams are high bc their production is wild ontop of pretty decent dancing. I think they are very similar to britney when it comes to skill and use of production. A group is hard to compare to her though

Love your explanation, very well said. You slay, diva!

HAPPY FOR THEM QUEENS
